TO - THE MEMORY OF THE REV. BENJAMIN JOHN

Born June 7a, 1810—Died Judy 25th., 1862.
go.micE mounted yet to life's meridian, Clear
And bright, thy star of usefalnew is set, -
Dear .WALLAOE 1 nor without recorded tear
Must that regretted mound thy form secrete
Companion, scholar,
genius, hero, frier:di—
lly all who knew, honored, esteemed, beloved;
The country'feels her loss in such an end
The church to indulge her solemnigrief prefers!
Not every glory of the earth, removed
So sudden, claim these live remembrances,..
Nor parasite, nor partisan, was he :
But what'A. CHRISTIAN ZIMMER should be,
In such example pure, might all tnett'see
Thy will,, Great God t be done—dominion is with
thee.
The :Other Side.
We dwell this side of Jordan's stream,
Yet oft there Domes a shining beam
A.oross from yonder shore ;
Whilst visions of a holy throng,
And sound , of harp and seraph song,
Seem gently wafted o'er.
The Other Side I"ah, there's the place
Whore saints in joy past times retrace,
And think of trials gone,
Tho veil withdrawn, they olearlysee
That all on earth had need to be,
To bring them safely home.
The; •Other Side t no skis there ,
To stain the robes that *blest ones wear,
Made white in Jesus' Blood,
No cry of grief—no voice of woe /
To mar the , peace their spirits know—
Their constant peace with a-od.
The .00'01-Bide I its shore, so bright
Is radiant with the golden light,
Of Zion's pity fair ;
And many'dear ones gone before
Already'tread the happy shore;
I seem to see them there:
The Other Side ,1 oh, charming sight—
Upon its banks, arrayed in white,
For me a loved one Waits.
Over the stream he calls to me—'
41 Fear,not, I am thy guide to be
Up to the pearly gates."
The Other Side / his well known voice,
And dear bright fice, will me rejoice;
• We'll meet in fond embrace.
He'll.lead me on until *a stand,
.gagh with a palm branch in our. hand,
Before the Saviour's face.
The Other 'Bide I The Other Side I
Who would not brave the swelling tide
Of earthly toil and care;
To wake one day when life is past,
Over sthe stream, at home at last,.
*Ali all the blest ones there.
OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONRENT.
Truth is never like many other things, 'an
tiquated or out of fashion. Therefore itnaii
not be deemed inappropriate for the writer to
endeavor to impress on'your readers, al truth
which lias beeh recentlrforced lupine on his
awn, mind by the, doings of death, "This I
spy, brethren,, the time is' short." This is
the truth referred to---and it is one whose
importance is lost sight of to a great extent,
because of our familiarity with, it. "Time
is short,! " it remaineth that we redeem it—,
make the most of it—prepare for the close of
0 7 —sit loose to all'sublunary things—and use
ii the good'and perfect gifts of our Heaven
ly Father, in such a way that they shall, do
for us (of course through grace) what the
locks do for barges on some canals—raise us
to a higher level in spiritual things. In
view of the shortness of time whose
sues are eternal, Rntherford , has . said, in
his own peculiarly happy style, "Build . your.
nest upon no tree here ; for God hath sold
the forest to - Death, and every tree whereon
we would rest is ready tube cut down, to the
end we may flee and mount up, and build up-
Mt the ROOk,,and. dwell in the -holes of the
Rock." " Tima is short." Reader, is,your
soul saved? If it be, happy are you; you
are only a few steps at most, from the para..'
dise of God; but if it be not, miserable are
you ; you are exposed to the wrath and curse
of a justly offended God; and you may have
it poured out on you at any moment.
All our feelings of religion and humanity
have been shocked by recent, tidings of the
horrible execution of Taeping prisoners by I
the Imperialists in China, and, of the scarcely
less inhuman conduct of the King of Daho
mey in, capturing thousands of his fellow-be
ings to be sold as slaves, or sacrificed, as' an
expression of his royal piety. An English
man gives a pen-and-ink sketch' of the for
mer bloody scene. It is to be hoped, for the
sake of our common humanity; that in his
excitement he has overdrawn' the picture.'
Let me quote a sentence or two:—Cs I went,"
he writes, " with the crowds to see theexectt
tion of the Taeping prisoners that had r heen
given up for execution into the hands of.the
Mandarins by the English and FrenCle au
thorities. How am I to describe the 'dread'-
ful scene, or will it ever leave . my memolt
Among those , sketches were young and old
of both sexes,.from the infant newly born,to
the man of eighty,; from the enalente woman
to the maiden of from ten to eighteen. The
latter were, pushed out by the guards among
the crowd of ruffians, were taken into sheds
and by-places and debauched, and then
dragged back by the hair Of the head to the
Chinese ,guards, to await theirlurn for exe
cution. Some of them were ripped up, and
had their breasts out off and their heart torn
out by the exectutioners-3their :Victims look
ing them, in the face all the while. ,:infants
were torn from their mothers' hearts and dis
embowelled. Young, strong men were disem,
bowelled and mutilated, and the parts cut ofr
thrust into their-mouth, or • flung among the
admiring and laughing crowd of Chinamen."
Anything so positively revolting as this
should attract to the perpertrators' of it the
attention of`the whole world ; and if civilized
' Governmenis can intefere in any way, or to
: any eittent, to prevent a repetition of such
disgusting and diabolical barbarity, 'they are
solemnly bound to do what in them lick with-'
out delay. It is right to state r
,thak ~when
reference was Made in, the HOUK drfPl / 1 1-
MOM the other night, to the communication
Ihave quoted from, Mr. LaYard denied the
aoouracy of It appears that the English
and French have suffered some losses---not
very serious—at the hands of the Chinese
rebels who-are far from. being disposed•to
submit.
Russia is in-a state of :great disquiet at the
present time. The revolutionary incendia
tism which some time sinee caused such
alarm in Government , circles;"_still' continues
in different parts. An attempt, it is said
was made on the life of the Emperor, as he
was walking in the' gardens of likpalace in
St. vetersburg.' It is' added that the Gov
ernment is striving most strenuously to pre
vent; thenews concerning: the -attempted as
sassination froni spreading.
The Missionary intelligence from different
parts• of India is very cheering indeed, espe
dially-as it speaks of an increase of native
agency--pan ageney which must yet take the
lead in the diffusion of Christianity. It is
the writer's humble opinion, and he subiiiiti
it with respect to the consideration of all
your readers, that .asthe Lord raised up .in
the Romish Church the Men wile were, to, re
formsbuses and restore a Scriptural creed
and form of wershiP,' so, He will raise up
arnong the heathen in different lands the
menlwho will be the destroyers of idolatry
and the liberators of their countrymen from
the Spiritual bondage of .centuries: There
fore it is; the" duty of all Christian Churehesi
supporting missions, te.givethe native agen
cy increasing,prominence in their efforts and
prayers. 'lt is to behoped, and greatly de
sired that the,pelicy of the present Govern
ment of India Will be of neither the standstill
nor retrograde type, in relation to. Christian
ity, ,but actually favorable ,to the, claims-of
our holy religion.
. The'Kingdom of Italy has been recognized
by other two of the European nations---Ras
sia and' Prussia, and it is said Spain is just
on the eve' of following in their wake. After
this, if Popish Spain take`the important step
hinted at, we need not. be• surprised at any
thing. ,It will be another case of fact
stranger than fiction.", , This 'eventuality is
highly significant to the•ex-King of Naples,
ho will , shortly be- Ander the ,neeessity of
abandoning the brigandage speculation, and
doing what an Ulsterman who, among his
neighbors had the name of knowing very
little, said his nephew must do, if the bounty
were' taken4rom the - Presbyterian ministers,
tuna his hand to something else."
. The canonization'of the Japanese martyrs
is now- " accomplished -fact "—rather a
novelty, ; in, waytoo, for the world has not
been, privileged to, witness such, a displayfor
many years. Nowhere in all the legendary
history of the Papacy are there to be feund
records of a_ greater farce than 'this. The
whole thing was a gigantic sham from first to
last—a trick' so transparent• that every per
son save theperformers, saw through. The
world isa little too knOwing-now-a-days to be
gulled by ecclesiastical legerdemain, even
though practisedin.themegnificent cathedral
of St. Peters. Esliall not take up space
with details of this solemn mockery which
Rornehis °flimsily designated a canonization,
but lutiefirrefettty some. of the lessons it un
doubtedly teaches. First, the spirit of Pope
ry is .unchanged, Popery is as essentially
the uncompromising fee of freedona , in the
,nineteenth century -as it was in.the darkest
day of the ,dark ages.. It abuses most unmer
cifully
And. intmea-snredly—in a style the
'celebrities of Billingsgate could hardly hope
to equal, certainly not to excel--thoseprinces
and people Who dare to think and act as men;
in relation to the Tope's temporal authority.
-It has the will to burn' atthe stake, to .be
head, •to imprison, to torture—ins word to
employ anyur all of the approved -and conse
crated, engines of Persecution against- ---ttkose
who refuseto deelare " unfeigned assent and
consent, to all the' dogmas and doings of the
worst of all despotims. Secondly, Popery
is conscious that its power is declining. It
is' worthy 'of remark and remembrance that
notwithstanding :the violent tirade' of a-bilee
indulgedin at Rome by the asiembled rep
resentatives of the Holy Catholic (?) , Church
--from: the head to the ~caudal extremity,
it ma.y be supposed—abuse in .which ;the bland
and wiley Wiseman-had the bad pre-eminence
—not single excommunication was launch
ed. Consistency demanded that sevefal. 'eon
toitne.cions sone of the church 'should he cut
off, if mit'stoned Withont the camp: Expe
diency forbade 'such a course; and expedien
cy carried the day. Thirdly, = Popish nations
are,,begininig ,to . exhibit a contniendable and
manly independence. Bat yesterday,_and
such a formidable array of Bishop's in the
city of the pontiff would hive Made every
Popish ceinatryfroin Italy to Ireland tremble;
nit* none is so poor as to delifteni reverence.
Of courge;,it is not Meant, - that' the whole
-mass of the people is leavenediith the spirit
of -independence, but:thatthe leaders of pub
lic opinion , having found, bulls from the vat
lean to he the ,most harmless of crea
,
ttires, Are ' thinking and
,acting for
themselves, not fearing pains and penalties.
..1 1 muthly, Pope, Cardituds:, Ilisholis, et (mule

however well they may be disposed te de so t
They met to elevate it to . the -position of a

- th e Isom of 'Napoleonic power ; and if it
- Were gene, the first notes of that hallelujah
which shall be chanted' at the final 'oVerthrow
•of the anti-Christian system, might very ap
-propriately be sung. As a-political artifice
--a kind of,dernier reaor---the canonization
.of the Jong,forgotten Japanese martyrs has
been a, dead.failure. Beyond causing in the
,hearts ilf seme i. Romanists, whose ignorance
is equal to their devotion, a few spasmodic
throhs of loyalty,. it, has done 'less forthe
cause of Rome than did, the proelamation of,
the Immaafilate - Conception, as an article of
faith. While we hateTopery most cordially
we shciuld love its votaries. They are our
.brethren, and we should pray for them.' While
-vie would heartily give -thanks .for the de
etruetion of the Great Apostany, we would
greatly rejoice in , the salvaged of ,the poor,
deluded papists throughout the world.
By the, law of Association, I am led to
speak of 'a monster Remish meeting to'be
held in Dublin, and on the 'Lord's day. If
everything be carried out according to the;
revealed expectation of those most interested,
it _will; Oertsauly ,exceed any assembly, in the
eapitA .10AgeAhe days of ,Daniel O'Conwali:
and Iteßeal. It is, for the purpose ,of
the foundation stone ora new Irish Catholic'
S. 11. C.

University. 'Several of the foreign - bishbps,
on their way 'from Rome, are to be present
at the ceremony, after which there is to be a
sumptnpus banquet. All this oh' the Lord's
day! And in Dublin ! In no, popish coun
try in the world would such a meeting, avow
edly for, a political purpose--and that against
the Government" ef the conntry, be toler
ated. A writer in the _Nation—a Dublin
newspaper—says, "The; great Mass of those
who Will 'assemble on that - occasion, will
consist of men who detect the denomination
of England in Irish affairs; and who see,in
the• Catholic University an institution which
they.are hound to love, not only-because it
enjoys the favor of the Catholic Church, but
also because it is honored by the hatred of
the British, aovernment." One 'o€ ,the pro
moters ,of the meeting has the cool audacity
to thank Lord 'Palmerston for the new T_Tni
versity, for, says the gentleman referred to,
"thei'Premier's refusal of ; charter to our
piesent College has:. roused. the . Catholic
feeling of the nation so that they,would per
severe,in obtaining for themselves and their
children free ; and .unfettered education." It
is rather
,strange that while Pop r ery, is mani 7
festing unmiStakeible signs, of heart disease
—in Italy—it'should exhibit tokens of vigo
rous vitality in its Irish''extremity. Our
Green Isle is the most PopiSh country on the
face of 'the 'earth and Ultramontanes say
and do here what they might dream of, but
certainly, 'never .Speak Of; in Fiance; Austria;
or Paul Cullen. and his Frenchmen,

,all in their,
power; Ito overturn, the. system, of, united edu

grant from the 'National Treasury. 'May
north is bad `enough, but this would be
worse if they could obtain it. rtJis wonder 7
fill how extremes meet sometimes. The
High 'Church partyis also' calling for a sep
arate grant,. and this conduct is opportunely
playing into the hands of% the Cullimet
school. The Papists, are .bn.sy. erecting .new
chapels, on a magnificent scale, in, Derry and
Armagb,,and in enlarging and repairing old
ones in nianylilaces. They, are also , multi
plying nunneries, and leaving no stone un
turned to recover' . Ireland for the Irish. J
would not be understood as intimating . that
the various Prbteitant Missions to.Romin
ists have .not succ;eeded.' Thank God, they
have done rmnch'•,.. ;and never: were 'their
hopes brighter than at, present. It is !not
unreasonable to suppose that the mutiplied
Protestant agencies now at. work, have pro
voked the R,omanists to put forth 0 1; their,
efforts in a counier-wOrk. 0 for the dawn of
that day--4right will its sun be—when the
pure and undefiled religion of Jesus shall
